26 The Balcony, Castle Arcade is my studio address but to people passing by I am Jazz in Wales.
I like the previous tenant's sign, particularly since I'm fond of jazz, but it's probably time that I changed it.

April showers have carried on into May and the garden looks fresh and very green. I have taken a break from the studio, catching up with friends, looking after the seedlings planted out in the cold-frame and generally pottering around. Now it's time to get back to work and I'm looking forward to it. I have new ideas for paintings and I'm impatient to get started.

About Me

I was born Mary Elizabeth Peckham in New Inn Monmouthshire. I am a painter working from studios in Cardiff and the South of France. I am passionate about painting landscapes and take my inspiration from the Post-War Paris painters. Giacometti and Nicolas de Stael have had the most influence on my painting.
